Sweet Nothings About Us

Thank you for shooting our wedding! We really enjoyed having you guys as our videographers. You and your wife were incredibly kind to us. You two were such a pleasure to work with! We really appreciated everything you guys did for us, including fixing our hair, making sure Allan’s boutonniere was on correctly, taking pictures with our guests’ phones, making sure we got a photobooth and 360 photos! Special shoutout to your wife, she was seriously so amazing! You guys made us feel so comfortable on a very stressful day! Thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much for capturing our wedding day so perfectly T_T We love the video so much! Thank you again for everything! It was such a pleasure to work with you and your wife and we couldn’t be happier with everything!

Hiring a videographer for your wedding is one of the best decisions you’ll ever make! & we are SO happy we chose 8 Kinds of Smiles. Travis and his team are very professional, calm, patient, and they do amazing work. The turn around time is insanely quick also! They were communicative and responsive from start to finish, which made the whole process easy. We now have memories that will last us a lifetime, and the raw footage was so fun to watch. We got to see footage we didn’t get to see on the day of our wedding. Definitely worth the money to work with the best team!

– Julia & Elwin :]

8 Kinds of Smiles captured all the special moments from our wedding to relive for a lifetime! Travis and his assistant were so kind, observant, patient, helpful, and flexible. My husband and I were absolutely in love with our wedding video. Our package included a 4-minute highlights video and 2 hours of extended cut. The highlights video was just the right length for sharing with friends and family, and the extended cut captured so many sweet and silly moments we forgot about or didn’t get a chance to see during our wedding. We are incredibly impressed with their work ethic and talent, and we couldn’t be happier with the end result!

– Kara & Brandon :]

My wife and I definitely recommend having 8 Kinds of Smiles for your video recordings and editing for your wedding.

All the 5 star reviews are not a lie. Travis and his wife were amazing. Travis is very organized with his email responses and communication. His contract is straight forward and is a massive value compared to other videographers out there. High quality work for an amazing price.

At the wedding he and his wife were very calm and but at the same time attentive in a high stress environment. They responded very professional to everyone – family members and the other vendors. Their quality of work is a reflection of the the people they are.

– Naomi & Jay :]

Travis and his team are AMAZING. I first contacted him back in 2019 as the videographer for our 2020 wedding and from the very beginning he was professional, approachable, and communicative (which I’m extremely appreciative of!). COVID hit and we had to delay our wedding twice; Travis was completely understanding and was so flexible whenever we reached out about the delays. It was so stressful and demoralizing to have to delay and replan things for our wedding, but we’re so thankful that Travis made it so much easier for us.

In terms of quality, we’re just amazed at the final product that he delivered. We got the extended cut and added the highlight reel last minute. I HIGHLY recommend the highlight reel. We didn’t think we needed one with the extended cut, but Travis did such an amazing job that we’re SOOO happy we decided to add it on.

I also cannot overstate how professional Travis was through the whole process: he provided detailed information about the packages, gave us timelines for delivering the final product and payment schedules, and sent us proofs to look over to make sure we’re satisfied. Every communication he sent was clear and concise and all my questions were always answered in detail.

Thank you Travis for helping capture our special day!

– Tu My & Albert :]

My wedding was supposed to be in 2020 and bc of the pandemic, I wanted to cancel it a million times. I dealt with a lot of shady vendors who werent accommodating nor understanding when we were dealing w/ a world wide pandemic. I felt like Travis was accommodating and understanding throughout the whole process. My husband and I told ourselves eff it, we’re going to have the wedding regardless and we are going to do as minimal planning and little details Bc you don’t know what to expect and with all the uncertainty with COVID. We had our wedding and even though we did as little as possible, I was scared that there was going to be nothing for the videographer to shoot. I had so much fun on my wedding day despite everything that we had gone thru. When I saw my wedding highlights, i was so happy with the results. Travis did an amazing job capturing everything that mattered to me. The love i have for my husband, the love for my friends and family, and how much fun we had that night. all my friends and family loved the love the wedding highlights and cannot stop watching it. Highly recommend him !

– Julie & Tam :]

Omg. Travis and Anna are amazing to work with! They knew what we wanted without us telling them! We had them for 10hrs for our wedding day, and they were so professional! They were able to capture such special moments of us and our guests. Our wedding highlights edited and was delivered so quickly. I love our video so much, that I’ve been watching it almost everyday! Thank you for everything Travis and Anna!

– Michelle & Kiet :]

I can’t even begin to describe how perfect Travis and Anna was! They went above and beyond for us on our wedding and made sure everything went perfectly. They were so detailed and constantly check on my wife and I’s outfits and hair and kept us looking on point!

They were so kind and personable! They treated us like family and made our day so special. And once we got the wedding video, we were blown away at how amazing and intricate it was!! They edited it exactly how we imagined and made it so personalized.


I highly highly recommend 8 Kinds of Smiles, trust me you will not regret it!

– Esther & Tommy :]

“This review is so long, and long overdue!!! My wedding was Feb. 2020 and it’s beyond time I submitted feedback. 8 Kinds of Smiles was probably my fave wedding vendor, the most professional, and so worth it. If you are on the fence about having a videographer, go for it – and HIRE 8 KINDS OF SMILES!! Their pricing is reasonable for what you get and they are so easy to work with – extremely responsive, flexible, and thorough (a relief without a wedding planner). Travis and Anna are a uber-professional team; they were on time, attentive, and attuned to all the important parts of the day and kept our flurry of a day on track. They are so easygoing and I never had a worry with them.

I knew I wanted a Same-Day Edit for my wedding as I think it is the COOLEST thing to show at your reception, but I already sensed the day would be a blur so my husband and I requested Package D (I think that’s what it’s called?) with Same-Day Edit, extended cut, and raw footage.

I ultimately went with 8KoS as a standalone videographer largely based on their style. Though I had researched other vendors with larger teams and more experience, as well as others who were cheaper, I realized that the other ‘pros’ had the same formulaic sweeping shots, edits, cuts, even music. Travis has a style, but he will also make it yours. I had already hired 8KoS prior to releasing their 2019 EOY highlights clip so I had a good sense of their creativity and capability, but when they put that on Instagram I knew I wanted my SDE to capture the same feeling – the sentiment but also the fun of the day and they 110% ABSOLUTELY DELIVERED!!!!!

I was all smiles watching our SDE at our wedding reception, and we received so many compliments from our guests. We received an extended version of the SDE (that ran through the whole night/dancing, instead of just stopping mid-reception) and two 1-minute Instagram not two days later, as we were leaving for our honeymoon. Travis was ready with our extended (2-hour) cut on blu-ray and raw footage earlier than expected (I think about 3 weeks from the wedding). I left the music choice up to Travis and he nailed it, even picking one of my all-time favorite songs without even knowing it (it was actually supposed to be the final song of our reception and our DJ completely ignored the request) and I teared up when I heard it as part of our extended cut.

I hear a lot of people say that videographers aren’t worth it, you’ll never watch the footage, etc. etc., but I also had major pre-emptive FOMO about my wedding day and sensed that, even with our photography team, I’d still miss out on certain special moments in the day (and tbh wasn’t happy with our photogs’ results/overall professionalism). My husband and I have since watched our extended cut three or four times (and we still get teary) and I’ve peeked at my Instagram clips from them on more occasions than I can count and I still get that giddy/happy feeling from watching those brief clips.


Do yourself a favor. Hire 8 Kinds of Smiles ASAP! You won’t regret it!”

– Christie & Tom :]

“Hi Travis, we LOVE this video. Thank you so much. We just got done with a busy work week and watched it just now, and this was a perfect treat for us on Valentine’s Day. (Ali) I second this! Seriously amazing work, thank you both so much!! (Nancy)”

– Nancy & Ali :]

“We love the video, thank you. It’s exactly what we were looking for. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our one month anniversary. Sky was in tears while watching it and loved how the highlight told a story.”

– Sky & Doug :]

“Hi, Travis. We absolutely love the highlights. I’m not sure what we should be looking for edit wise, but it looks great to us. Thank you so much and we can’t wait to share this video with our extended friends and family when it is available online.”

– Sherrill & John :]

“My husband and I are so happy we went with 8 Kinds of Smiles to capture our wedding day! From the get go, Travis and Anna made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We especially appreciated the direction Travis provided us during our Romantics session, which in turn made great shots for the wedding highlights — i.e. a dip! I thought my husband was going to drop me, luckily Travis provided detailed instructions to my husband to prevent that from happening! Also, when my husband and I were in the early stages of planning our wedding, we were on the fence on writing our own vows, and it was during our initial meeting with Travis that he asked if we were doing vows and it was under his recommendation that personal vows would make our wedding more meaningful and memorable, which helped us make the decision to write our own vows (and we’re so glad we did). Anna went above and beyond to help me capture photos and videos on my phone during our reception, which I greatly appreciated especially the day after our wedding when the wedding blues kicked in and all I wanted to do was re-live our wedding day.


Travis and Anna were amazing to work with! They are a great team and we found out recently that they themselves are getting married in the next year (congrats you guys!!). We are so happy with how our wedding highlights video turned out (not going to lie, I’ve re-watched our highlights about 1000x)! Travis and Anna captured our wedding day seamlessly and the highlights video they produced illustrates our wedding day perfectly from beginning to end.”

– Lilian & Jeff :]

“Travis and his team was one of the best vendors to work with throughout our entire wedding process. Not only did they make everything run so smoothly and easy but they were also very so creative, efficient, punctual, hard workers, easy to work with, and very genuine people. I have been following 8 Kinds of Smiles for many years now and i have to admit that their work continues to get better and better! I am so glad I had 8 Kinds of Smiles for my big day and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for cinematic specialists on any big event.


The one thing I like most about 8 Kinds of Smiles is the package deals they offer. They offer the most variety within each package and with the best deals. I ended up getting the Wedding Highlights, The Extended Cut, and the Raw Footage and loved them all. The turnaround time was a lot quicker than I had expected and I received all three before receiving my wedding photos from another vendor. Throughout the videos, I was indecisive on what songs to pick and Travis ended up picking for us and picked such excellent choices. I love the song selections he picked and also the transitions of how the video flows with the songs. I also loved the flow of the vows and bridal speeches in our videos. It made it very entertaining to watch! He was one of the vendors that I have to admit that was very organized and on top of things. Most of the time, I have to admit, it was me having to apologize for lagging in response and never him. He was always prompt at replying, sending our DVDs, and even arriving the day of our wedding. I loved his work on other people’s weddings and I especially loved his work for my wedding.”

– Lana & Minh :]

“Highly professional service, top-quality work, and affordable pricing! Travis and team did an outstanding job on our wedding video and we could not be happier. There are a lot of great wedding videographers out there, but the discriminating factor for 8KOS is their communication and professionalism. Especially if you are planning your own wedding, having vendors that are easy to work with is gold. Travis was very responsive to all of our inquiries and made it easy to understand their services. His team was also on time to all wedding events and delivered wedding videos AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. It’s no wonder they have been in business for so many years!”

– Sheila & Lance :]

“We were hesitant to even consider hiring a videographer for our wedding, We just didn’t think they could capture things that our photographer couldn’t, boy were we wrong!! Travis and Anna did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day! Every scene from the First Look, Tea Ceremony, Ceremony, Cocktail Hour and Reception will now be preserved with all the authentic emotion we experienced that day. Travis was flexible with what we wanted to shoot, was quick to responded both by text and email during the planning process and we had all of our edited and raw footage within two weeks of the wedding day!
We received so many compliments on the wedding video and we wish we could share them all, but just know, Travis’ work is worth every single penny! Do yourself a favor, book him now and rest assured that your wedding is going to be preserved just as perfectly as you planned it!”

– Thu & Justin :]

“[Carol] I can’t express how happy I am to have Travis and Anna to capture every moment of our wedding. Travis is so easy to work with, easy going, professional and down to earth. We first met back in March to go over our vision and how we wanted our wedding to be captured. He met all our expectations and more, I kid you not our same day video was beyond perfect. They were with us the entire day, from early morning (i’m talking about 6 AM) until late at night almost to the end of our reception just to make sure he captures every shot that is needed for the same day edit. I swear every time I play it I cry a little, because its so beautifully done you can tell they both put 110% into what they do and they are so passionate of their work that it shows. I can’t thanked them enough for making my wedding so memorable. They honestly go above and beyond to fulfill their client’s needs and its hard to find people as kind as them.

I highly recommend 8 kinds of smiles because they are truly good at what they do! they will put all your wedding memories into a cinematic clip that will forever last!!!!


[Henry] Absolutely blown away. We had the opportunity to have travis and Anna document our wedding and the final product came out absolutely amazing. It was everything we wanted and then some. We had talked to a couple other videographers and ended up going with 8 kinds. Their work speaks for itself and their price is fair. Travis is great at what he does and delivered at the end result. We had an idea of what we were looking for in our shots for our same day edit and which we had voiced a closeout days prior and he was nailed it. Throughout the wedding day he was there from morning till night. We did a tea ceremony as well as an American ceremony followed by the reception and these guys were with us all the way. That’s like more then 15 hours. They were also great at recommending things and directing us when we needed. Highly recommend 8 kinds if your looking for a videographer.”

– Carol & Henry :]

“Travis and Anna were amazing to work with, they stayed with us from beginning to end (for a real long 15 hour day) and were able to capture all of our special moments. We are absolutely in love with the same-day edit video they created for us, and we have been watching it non-stop! Our family and friends could not rave enough about the high quality of their videos as well as their professionalism. We highly recommend 8 Kinds of Smiles for your special day. We love you Travis & Anna!”

– Catherine & Norman :]

“We love it !!! Thanks so much for putting this together. We cannot wait to share it with our family and friends. Thanks, Travis.”

– Kim & John :]

“Hi Travis! Sorry we didn’t respond earlier. It’s just that we’ve been watching your video I think about 20 times already. After each replay, we just slowed it to about frame by frame 😂…it’s just that good! You couldn’t have chosen a better song nor a better edited video! Everyone loved it and has been sending comments nonstop. The video is very heartwarming and captures the whole feel of the day.

You and Anna make a great team. We wish you the best with your wedding planning and wish you guys a lifetime of happiness.


From the bottom of our hearts, we’re so thankful to have you capture our wedding and would recommend you to everyone who’s looking for the best videographer! Vu has a large family and many of his nieces and nephews will be getting married in the future so they’ll know who to call 😉.”

– Hoi & Vu :]

“Dear, Travis. We love the highlight video, it’s so beautiful. You did an amazing job. We don’t have anything that we want to change. Thanks very much for such an amazing job.”

– Theresa & David :]

“Travis and his team are professional, personable and incredible talented videographers.

My wife and I recently got married and at the last second realized we had just enough in our budget for a videographer. Despite the last minute arrangement, Travis and his team were incredibly communicative, responsive and patient with our needs.


On the day of the wedding they were helpful, personable and remained in the background, documenting all of our special moments. Having received the footage and highlight video from the wedding we are even more pleased with the work they do. We could not recommend Travis and his team more highly!”

– Andrea & Alex :]

“Travis and his group were absolutely wonderful!! They were such a pleasure to work with and definitely one of the EASIEST vendors we had.

Travis always made sure I was on top of things, and worked with my wedding coordinator and photographer to make sure everything went smoothly.

On the day of, Travis was with us the whole day from when we were getting ready, until the last song ended, and he was SUCH a sweet heart. He made me feel so at ease (especially when you’re nervous!) and was always so nice. He even offered to take photos with our cell phones during our down time (when he wasn’t filming). he gave us clear and concise direction, yet was also always pleasant about it.

After our wedding day, Travis’ turnaround time was so fast and he was so helpful with song choices. After our wedding we were gone for 2 months so there was no way Travis could get the footage to us, but he was kind enough to ship a USB back to me with all the footage!!


The video turned out great, and it was a perfect way to capture our day. Your wedding day goes by SO fast and you want to remember it all! But 8 Kinds of Smiles was able to help us relive the day and share with our family and friends who were not able to attend. Thank you guys for everything and your amazing work!!”

– Isabel & Anthony :]

“Joanna and I would like thank you and Anna both for everything you did for us on Saturday. You were both wonderful to work with and really went out of your way to help us in any way possible. And then there was the same day edit – absolutely amazing and the highlight of the night! We loved the footage and the music was mixed in perfectly.”

– Joanna & Collin :]

“My wife and I married on November 17, 2018. We booked Travis and couldn’t have been happier. From our first in-person meeting to his many email coordinations, Travis was always professional. He’s kind and accommodated all of our requests and/or questions. On the day of our wedding he and his assistant, Mai, kept both of our nerves at bay while capturing all of our favorite nuances (both subtle and obvious). They especially did a great job with capturing the good times our family/guests were having.


We wish we could relive our wedding day, and luckily we have our wedding video to watch as often as we’d like. With Travis’ production and his visualization skills, our wedding video really exceeded our expectations!”

– Amanda & Joseph :]

“Got married less than a week ago and we chose 8kindsofsmiles as our videographers and we were not disappointed! We were able to show the same day edit video to our guests and we all absolutely loved it! Not only are their videos very high quality, but the service they provided was outstanding. Travis and Anna were very professional and friendly. They truly captured the best moments of our big day, whether it was joyful tears or laughter.”

– Marie & Brent :]

“Travis is VERY talented and amazing at what he does! He was always very professional and prompt to respond to any questions or requests we had. Travis is very easy to work with which we loved! My husband and I are so amazed at the quality of his work. We absolutely love our highlights video! Travis and his team captured all the special moments throughout our wedding day – making our video that much more meaningful. We have played it for family and friends and have received numerous compliments. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Travis and his team!”

– Valerie & Eric :]

“Words are not enough to express the amazing work that Travis delivered to us. All the way from start to finish he was super professional and made sure to catch all the moments that I couldnt even think possible. You hear all the time from other fellow brides how much they hated there wedding videos but with the help of Travis & 8 kinds of smile team after watching any highlights or extended cut you cant help and want to cry because it was so beautifully made. I didnt really have time to shop around for a videographer because we lived outside of CA. Some were just too expensive and some were just to cheap that i know the videos would be too cheesy. My husband and I decided we couldnt sacrifice paying to low to get a crappy wedding video. We didnt even decide we wanted extended cut til after we saw the highlight. We literally added that on wayyyy after the wedding. I honestly cried the first time I watched the wedding highlights video. So moving, so beautiful, and it made me realize after all the stress behind the scenes of the wedding it was so worth it. Travis knew exactly what he was doing and what songs to incorporate in our video. He captured absolutely all the perfect moments I get to relive again and again. There was times I couldnt hear all the speeches and after watching the DVD I was able to finally know what was everyone saying. I am so glad we went with 8 kinds of smile. There was no hesitation after seeing his work on his website and instagram. His prices are set and reasonable but he will work with you in installments. Future wedding couples please hire Travis!!! he does amazing work and the quality of the video will come out amazing. You will not be disappointed!”

– Garvy & Henry :]

“During wedding planning last year: 2017, my husband and I looked through over 15+ cinematographers online comparing prices and style of the films for the wedding. After hours of watching countless different videos and formulating excel sheets to weigh our options, we decided to go with 8 Kinds of Smiles to shoot our wedding in 2018.

Travis has been absolutely amazing. I’m not big on writing yelp reviews but I felt that I had to for this one to let other brides/grooms know how awesome this team is. Travis has been responsive since the day I initially reached out to him. He sent over the package options and answered all the questions that I had.

Travis and Anna flew out from southern California for our wedding in Santa Clara, CA. They arrived at our venue in the morning and started filming our day. They made sure to give us our space and at the same time captured all the essentials of our wedding.

Last week, we received our wedding highlight and we are in awe of how beautifully Travis captured our wedding in that short 5-7 minute highlight (In super high quality). Not only that, but he sent us the video within 1 month time frame from our wedding! We’ve heard of stories where some people don’t get their video.. EVER or it just takes way too long.. As for 8 Kinds of Smiles, Not only are they good at their job, but they also prioritize their clients and send out the videos in a timeframe that they promised.


My husband and I appreciate your team so much!”

– Cindy & David :]

“I’m so happy we found 8 Kinds of Smiles and got the chance to book him for our special day! Travis and his assistant, Jason, were on point from the moment they started (10AM) till the end of the night (10PM). He was very easy to communicate with and worked really well with our photographer. There was not too much directing from his end for any of the shots, which we liked because it made all the footage very natural. I highly recommend checking out his work on his website. If I could post my 6 minute video, I would! To top it off, he also provides all the raw footage for you at the end. Just make sure you give him a flash drive to store all the data beforehand. My husband and I are both so happy with the end product, we’ve already posted the video and gotten a ton of compliments on his work. Thanks for documenting our big day Travis! (from Carmen)


After having countless meet-ups with videographers in the OC/LA area, we were able to find the videographer for our big day. It wouldn’t have been as special if we didn’t find 8 Kinds of Smiles. Travis and his assistant, Jason, were really easy to work with and pleasant to communicate with. He made everything easier and the biggest perk that differentiates him amongst the other competitors is his dedication to you on your big day. We really liked that all his packages include a full day commitment at no extra cost. Other competitors charge you a ridiculous amount for their package and then charge more money for every additional hour. Travis brings quality and talent to his videos. I highly recommend him for any of your videography needs! (from Henry)”

– Carmen & Henry :]

“Travis and Jason were an awesome team to work with on our wedding day. We met with Travis before the date so we could get to know each other and since that moment, he was super responsive through texts and emails answering all our questions and requests. On the wedding day, they were able to capture all the great moments we wanted them to without ever seeming to be in the way. And it was really crowded. They were very go with the flow type guys, which we really needed that day and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We got our highlights, extended cut and DVDs sent to us so quickly! Thanks for all your hard work and we are so glad to have met you :)”

– Dao & Justin :]

“My fiancé and I chose 8 Kinds of Smiles as our wedding day videographers, and we could not be happier with the final products!

Since we live in Northern California, all of our communications with Travis, our main videographer, were done either via phone or email. Even though we were miles away, Travis made the whole preparation experience run smoothly by being prompt in responding back to us. We really liked that Travis takes the initiative and provided us guidance/suggestions for our wedding highlight after we gave him our wedding day itinerary and timetable. We only had a general idea of what we wanted, and Travis filled in the rest of the detail to make our wedding highlight perfect!

On the day of the wedding, Travis and his assistant, Anna, arrived on time. It was a very hectic morning, but we were glad Travis and Anna knew exactly what to do in terms of filming all of the essential scenes. They were very patient with us and stayed for our whole wedding day, which was around 12 hours since we did the whole traditional vietnamese tea ceremony and night time reception.


Our final results (highlight and extended cut) were delivered to us one after the other, and we could not be happier with the results! :’) We are so glad to have chosen 8 Kinds of Smiles for our wedding day videography, and would definitely recommend them to all the couples getting married soon! The service and quality 8 Kinds of Smiles provided are exceptional and at a very affordable price. It was a pleasure working with them!”

– Nancy & Derek :]

“Stop looking through Yelp. Stop scrolling through vendors on Instagram. Just do yourself a favor and book 8 Kinds of Smiles now before your date becomes unavailable! No one asked me for a review. I am not related or affiliated with them. They just did such an amazing job that I am laying here on my honeymoon in Hawaii writing this review! LOL

We first reached out to Travis ~10 months before our wedding. He was super responsive, professional, and never once pushy. We decided to book him back then, and didn’t hear back from him again until 1-2 weeks before the wedding. But to all those anxious brides like me, don’t worry because they showed up and took care of business without a single hitch!

Why I booked 8 Kinds of Smiles:
– They do not charge by the hour. This was so important to me because Vietnamese weddings are looooong.
– Prices were SO reasonable, especially considering you get 2 shooters, optional drone, and all day coverage.
– Travis has such a great artistic eye. His work is cinematic and captures all the emotions of the day so well.

Travis and Jason showed up bright and early the day of our wedding. They were both so helpful in keeping the timeline and paying attention to the little details. They got beautiful shots while always staying behind the scene like ninjas! We opted for the Same Day Edit which turned out beyond amazing. I don’t even know where they found the time to put that video together bc it felt like they were always available and tending to us. But the result was a beautiful video that we got to watch together while still surrounded by our friends and family.


If I could give one piece of advice to brides on a budget like I was, it would be to save money elsewhere but DO NOT skip out or go cheap on photo/video. The day goes by so fast…these are your memories.”

– Nancy & Michael :]

“I have to share just how amazing this turned out, thanks to Travis & Anna // 8 Kinds of Smiles. It perfectly captures the tender moments and the merriment!”

– Yen & Andy :]

“Travis was our videographer and let me tell you, he does AMAZING work! He did an excellent job with the wedding highlights making sure to include all the important portions of the wedding. There are a ton of videographers out there, but what makes him stand out is he has the “it” factor when it comes to creativity and artistry. Many of our family and friends who watched our highlights rave about how it put them through an emotional rollercoaster – from the crying from the ceremony and speeches to the joy and fun of the reception. Not to mention, he is very easy to work with and very professional. I highly recommend 8 Kinds of Smiles, you will not be disappointed!”

– Jamie & Tony :]

“A year ago when my husband and I were planning our wedding, we weren’t going to hire a videographer at all. But after thinking it over, we decided to search for one. Luckily we stumbled upon Travis at 8 Kinds of Smiles. Travis was the last vendor we booked, and we’re so glad we had him capture our special day.

Have you ever came across a vendor that rushes you into signing a contract? Well, not Travis. He gave us time to make our decision, and that’s one of the many traits we like about him. Travis is professional, prompt with emails, and has a great artistic eye.


We just recently received our extended cut, and we LOVE it! We have viewed it over a hundred times, and still can’t get enough of it (LOL). Travis is talented at his craft and you will not be disappointed!”

– Tami & Kien :]

“Hi, Travis. It’s so beautiful! I cried quite a bit 😂 We love it just the way it is and wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!”

– Kristen & Rich :]

“We are extremely happy with our wedding videographer! Travis is great! He is professional, easy to work with, and produces amazing results! Our initial meeting with him was very casual. He responded promptly to my emails and questions which eased my wedding planning stress. On our wedding day, Travis and his team were very easy to work with. And our wedding highlights were done in an incredible speed of time and we loved it, not much that we wanted to change at all. Highly highly recommend 8 Kinds of Smiles if you are looking for a wedding videographer!! No regrets at all!”

“From the very moment I reached out to Travis, He and his team have been very responsive and accommodating. Travis takes the time to really know his clients because each client is different and he wants the couple’s personality to be shown through his work. Not only does Travis and his team do great work, but they are very responsive and easy to work with. I was actually going to opt out on getting a videographer for the wedding because I thought it would be too expensive, but 8kindsofsmile was very affordable and they create high quality work. My husband and I are very pleased with how everything turned out and we are so glad we went with 8kindsofsmiles. Our family and friends loved our video!!”

“My wife and I were extremely happy with Travis’s work . He was very prompt with our questions and concerns and very professional at our initial meeting. We can see that Travis and his team worked extremely well with our photographers and other vendors. His work was amazing as we got videos on time as promised. Travis really understands morning Vietnamese traditional ceremonies as both our families appreciated his work and mannerism. And his videography throughout day and night was perfect . We highly recommend!”

– Diana & Andrew :]

“My husband and I hired 8 Kinds of Smiles to be our videographer for our October wedding. Travis and his team came highly recommended from 2 of our friends, and we fell in love with his work after seeing his portfolio. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Travis and his second shooter Anna – in fact, they were one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding! Everything went smoothly, from our initial email encounter, to the actual wedding day, and finally to the delivery of the final highlights video. Travis and Anna were able to beautifully summarize our wedding day and we could not have been happier with the end results. They did everything they could to make sure that we were thrilled with the final product, and we truly appreciate the extra steps they took to make it perfect. Even if you are in the Bay Area, do not be discouraged to reach out to Travis and his team as they do travel to various locations. Their packages are very reasonably priced, especially given the fact that they provide high quality coverage for the entire wedding day. 8 Kinds of Smiles was definitely a well worth it investment, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding videographer!”

– Tina & Jason :]

“Words cannot express how beautiful our same day edit was!! So many compliments from all our guests about the amazing video Travis put together for us to see during the reception. Definitely will be passing his information along to anyone who needs a videographer. Very nice team and so very easy to work with that it didn’t feel weird to be recorded all day. 8 kinds of Smiles offers a variety of packages to suit your needs. We went with the all day package with same day edit and raw footage, and we are so happy that we got it. Thank you for spending the day with us and capturing our special day. These memories mean the world to us!”

– ThyVan & Brent :]

“My husband and I can’t help it but keep playing over and over our Same Day Edit. Travis and his crew (Jason) are so talented and hard working. The video is so touching and he truly captured all those special moments. We loved working with them and recommend 8 Kinds of Smiles to everyone! Thank you again Travis and Jason!!!”

– Phuong & Richard :]

“My husband and I are incredibly happy with our wedding highlights and the service and quality Travis and Anna put in. We had our wedding in September and were able to share our highlights within weeks and got out final product plus raw footage in a month. We were looking for a videographer who was able to create a great memorable story of our big day and not just random clips. Travis does exactly that and captures everything. He is really talented and professional. He was easy to get in contact with by email and phone and kept us up to date on our wedding video. Pricing is very affordable and I love that there isn’t a maximum hour. Especially for us it was going to be a long day, and we wanted to incorporate everything. Travis had one other assistant, Anna. They work so well together and with others. They were with us the whole day and made everything so stress free, from getting ready early morning, tea ceremony, and photo session and throughout our whole wedding. I highly recommend Travis and his team! I cannot my thank yous enough. Best ever!”

– Sally & Nobby :]

“Anthony and I watched the wedding highlights so many times and we loved every second of it. I love both the songs and how it came together. Thanks so much. :) You are amazing!”

– Michelle & Anthony :]

“Choosing a wedding videographer could be overwhelming with so many options out there. But when my wife and I met with Travis for the first time, he asked us questions about our relationship that let us know he was passionate about his craft. Aside from providing us with great footage, Travis was responsive and patient throughout the process, which made it easier when we were juggling so many other decisions. You can see in his work that he truly enjoys capturing the love and magic of a wedding day.”

– Trinh & Philip :]

“I was referred to Travis by my best friend Annie! After being in her wedding and seeing her wedding video it was an easy decision! Travis was so great to work with! I had to push my wedding back half a year and he was still able to accommodate my husband and I. Andddd we didn’t lose our deposit so that was a huge plus!! He responded to all emails I’ve sent him rather quickly and just made the whole experience a breeze. We hardly even notice him recording on the day of our wedding, but he sure captured every special moment. That’s how good he is! He made it very natural and not like we are awkwardly forced to be on camera. He truly captured us being us! Highly recommend Travis and his team for your special day! Thank you again Travis !!!!”

– Christine & Henry :]

“Travis and John at 8 Kinds of Smiles did an AMAZING job with our wedding video. People are still talking about our same day edit. If you are debating whether or not to get this, I highly recommend you do because not only is it a gorgeous touch, but it’s something your guests will remember. The full video edit is great as well. My husband and I are able to relive our wedding over again each time we watch it…including his father’s very long speech. I’ve previously seen their work on their blog, so they’ve been my first choice even before I got engaged. I couldn’t be happier that we chose to go with Travis and his team. Thank you so much for capturing all the wonderful moments of our special day.”

– Mimi & Brandon :]

“We just watched the highlights and can’t tell you how emotional we got watching it. (Liem was crying..I teared up a bit.) It is SOOOO beautiful!!! The day went by so quickly that we didn’t get to absorb anything in. Thanks so much for such an amazing job capturing it all. We loveee it!!”

– Michelle & Liem :]

“I had looked at many wedding videographers and spent months looking for a company that suited my main criteria: that their videos of other couples successfully captured the happiness and emotions such that I would cry when watching these videos. Well 8 Kinds of Smiles did that for me and I knew then that I wanted to have them capture my day. I met up with Travis and although he seem like a very quiet guy, he was extremely flexible and organized. During the whole process he made everything very easy to deal with. He has strong communication skills and kept me up to date of when exactly when I should expect the highlight videos etc. and was accommodating to make any changes that I wanted. However, I was very happy with what he had produced and did not need to make any changes. Travis really has the gift to capture everything including the emotions and weave it together into a beautiful fairy tale. Overall, I am very satisfied with his work and I would highly recommend him to anybody.”

– Kim & Chuong :]

“love love LOVEEEEE 8 Kinds of Smiles! If you’re looking for a videographer to capture every precious detail of your special day, 8 Kinds of Smiles is the team you’re looking for. My husband and I were very close to ending the day without shedding any tears until Travis played our Same Day Edit at the reception. Once Travis played that video, it was like a waterworks show streaming down our faces. Since the day goes by so quickly that you don’t get a chance to enjoy every special moment of it, it’s great to have a video to highlight the important moments throughout the day and be able to watch it before the night is over. Also, I misread his packages but in the end, Travis was very accommodating and was able to add the extra video that I wanted. Travis is also very quick to respond to any questions or concerns you may have. Everyone who’s planning a wedding and asks me about my wedding videographer, I always tell them I highly recommend 8 Kinds of Smiles.”

– Mary & Scott :]

“Hi Travis, Omg… I can’t stop viewing our video. So awesome and adorable! I catch myself tearing up from time to time. Thank you for capturing all those moments and conveying it on video.”

– Alyssa & Rogel :]

“Hi Travis, I absolutely love the SDE! You did an amazing job and it was so quick! Thank you for everything. Looking forward to the DVDs!!!”

– Linh & Tai :]

“My experience with Travis throughout our entire wedding process was quite phenomenal. Text and emails were responded to very quickly and appointments were easily made or rescheduled. We opted for the same day edit (SDE), extended cut, and DVD. I felt the cinematography, artistic value, camera angles, audio quality, and pricing were all top notch in quality and value. Travis and Jason spent an entire day with us shooting, from 6 am all the way to 10:30 pm. The SDE was well received by family and guests. Travis has a certain passion for his work and it definitely comes across in all the small details. He managed to shoot everything without any obtrusiveness while capturing all the small details. All the uncles and aunts got their moment of fame (as expected in an Asian wedding), and no complaints or critique from family or friends.”

– Diana & Larry :]

“We hired Travis to shoot some video for us to show at our wedding reception. Not only was all the footage beautifully shot with excellent sound, but Travis himself was an absolute pleasure to do business with. He was extremely organized and professional from start to finish. He made us both feel comfortable talking on camera and his prices were completely reasonable. I’m so grateful we found him and I would recommend him very highly.”

– Stephanie :]

“We are very fortunate to pick 8 Kinds of Smiles for our wedding videography. We loved working with them! We are so appreciative of all the hard work Travis and Mai put into our wedding. Travis was great during the planning process — professional and responsive. We were planning a wedding from out of state, but we were able to sort out all the details through emails. We discussed the timeline and important shots and flow of the video, and he took the time to get to know us as people and a couple. Our highlight video is incredible and all of our family and friends love it. It captures so many memorable moments from the wedding. Most of all, it is truly artistic, well-edited and special. I know we will watch it over and over again. We highly recommend 8 Kinds of Smiles!”

– Minh & Duy :]

“OMG!!!! Thien and I both absolutely love the video. I really like the use of different music, and how you built up the emotions and excitement of the wedding/reception. I didn’t really cry at all during my wedding day (which really surprised me), but watching the video brought me to tears!! Thanks Travis! =P Thien says the video is one of the best he’s seen. =D”

– Ai-Viet & Thien :]

“Oh my goodness we totally love the video. You did an amazing job and are so talented. We can’t thank you enough. It turned out perfect.”

– Jen & Danny :]

“Travis and his team are awesome!! We had our wedding last September and everything turned out great! Prior to the wedding, meeting up with him was pretty simple. He was professional, straightforward and easy to work with. On our wedding day, he was on time and made sure he captured all the important moments of our day. We had a surprise same day edit that my sister decide to add to our reception and he did a fabulous job! In such a short amount of time, he nailed it without a doubt and brought tears to our eyes. We highly recommend him and encourage you to book him early! Give him a try and he won’t disappoint you. Thx again for making our day so special! Five star all the way!”

– Huong & Paul :]

“Travis and his team are AMAZING. Planning a wedding is extremely stressful and gets extremely pricy, but 8 Kinds of Smiles provide an awesome package and the price you pay is worth every dollar spent! Travis is so prompt when it comes to responding to me about questions and getting back to me in a timely manner. After the wedding I got my highlight video which was amazing, and the extended cut shortly after. He did not disappoint at all. He is so good at what he does and I loved the quality of the DVD. Choosing 8 Kinds of Smiles is the best decision you will make for your wedding as he captures all the important parts of the day! Hurry and book! Thanks again for all your hard work, I would recommend you to anyone any day!”

– Jenny & David :]

“Hey Travis! This looks totally awesome!!! We loved it!!!!!! And love the changes. You are a genius at what you do. :)”

– MaiThu & Gene :]

“Travis and his team are nothing short of amazing!!! I can not even express enough how happy I am with his work and how much I enjoyed working with him from start to finish. From the first email to inquire about pricing until the last one about dropping off my final products, he was extremely professional, helpful, and always there to answer any questions I had. His packages are extremely budget friendly but the results are amazing and worth every penny! I was beyond stressed the day of my wedding but whenever I watch my highlight & extended cut video they make me smile because Travis was able to capture and document every special moment that day (and despite being able to capture everything, he and his team were never in the way) My family and friends all love our videos and I have gotten many inquiries from brides-to-be about 8KS and I have sent everyone Travis’ contact info and will continue to do so whenever anybody asks. Thank you again 8KS for being a part of our wedding day!”

– Annie & Hieu :]

“It’s hard to give Travis and his team at 8 kinds of smiles the appropriate recognition that they deserve for their great professional work that they provided for us on our wedding day. I’ve told Travis this before but I’m going to say it again in this review…..he’s definitely got the “IT” factor to capture the most poignant and funniest moments of your wedding day. He’s professional, he’s easy going, he allows you to be natural, funny, dorky, and emotional. His professionalism shows in his repeated attempts to meet up with you to get to know you and to touch base with any agendas or appropriate information that he may need to know for the big day. I had asked him to include my proposal video along with the same day edit for my wedding and he was absolutely CLUTCH in his delivery. Getting to witness two of the most important days of our lives played out during our reception in front of all our loved ones was one of the most emotional and surreal moments of our lives. Many of our guests were in tears and loved watching the proposal and SDE. Our finished product was super awesome and not only were we happy with it, but our parent’s LOVED their vietnamese version as well (any couple with traditional parents knows how difficult it is to please parents nowadays with wedding videos). When Travis says he will customize the video to your preference and liking, he literally means it….I was able to adjust and change anything I wanted (music, scenes, speeches) and I changed A LOT!! Once I was absolutely happy with every second of my video, Travis then sends it in for final production. To me, that meant a great deal because I was able to include every part that I felt important to my family and delete or shorten the not so important parts. His flexibility and willingness to change everything was greatly appreciated. I’ve thanked Travis and his team a billion times but I never feel that it’s enough because he’s helped to capture a day that my husband and I will cherish and remember FOREVER..and for that, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. You guys are ACKA-Awesome!!! I definitely recommend this team to all engaged couples out there…no doubt one of our best wedding investments ever!!!! C&D”

– Duyen & Charlie :]

“My husband and I are very happy with Travis Do and his associate’s work. They are very professional and easy to work with. We got a same day edit/wedding highlights, extended cut, and a copy of the raw video and could not be much happier with the results. Not to mention that we had a great value for all the work they have done for us. Thanks again 8 Kinds of Smiles.”

– Lesley & Jay :]

“Thank you to our wedding videographer, Travis Do, of 8 Kinds of Smiles for recreating our moment once again. Our wedding turned out beautiful as it shows in these highlights which you have choreographed for us. I am sure it took a lot of time and patience to get through while capturing many more other beautiful weddings at the same time. We are aware many of our friends in OC have also hired Travis as their wedding videographer. I can assure you, he does a wonderful job and provides you with a lot of patience to provide you his finishing touch. He will also run his work by you first for any needed revisions before he proceeds to post into his website. All the more reason to hire him! Again, plus many times more, thank you so much!”

– Genee & David :]

You’ve captured our emotions so beautifully – for sure that will be one item in our treasure box.”

– Carolyn & Adam :]

“Thank you so much for all that you and Yen did on the day of the wedding. It wasn’t the most organized event and we really appreciate how you guys went beyond what you were there to do to make everything happen. We’re also super happy with the same day edit, so thank you!”

– Leslie & Kevin :]

My husband and I was very satisfied with the video clip and would recommend him anytime to anyone!!!”

– Lucy & Tony :]

“The video looked phenomenal! Thanks for all your hard work. We’re both feeling giddy inside. Thanks again for everything. We know you’ll be really successful in anything you do. Best of luck to you!”

– Lisa & Kenn :]

“If I could redo my wedding – the whole shebang…I would keep but a few vendors and Travis Do is at the top of my list. Travis and Sophia are simply amazing!  We had a few bad seeds for vendors BUT we really lucked out with Travis and 8kindsofsmiles. He really made up for what others lacked and luckily for me, he did me the honor of filming our wedding. Travis, from the bottom of my heart…thank you for the exceptional work that you do. You were a pleasure to work with and I will continue to praise your work to others!”

– Katie & Ryan :]

“They are an amazing group of wedding videographers, and I’m so glad I stumbled upon them because they made our day even more special if that was humanly possible. If you future brides & grooms use them, can you please let them know that you found them through the Muramoto(s). ps. you’re welcome too :D”

– Anh & Matthew :]

“I am in LOVE with our wedding dvd, which included highlights and extended cut!!! Travis and Ly did such a phenomenal job and we are so truly grateful to have had them a part of our big day. They were with us from morning until night and going strong the entire time… so comfortable and easy to work with them! The final product… WOW!!! The highlights and extended cuts told our story perfectly. The editing was flawless and the music selection could not have been anymore on the money. The DVD packaging/artwork were exquisite.  We are 110% beyond satisfied that we decided to have 8 Kind of Smiles capture our wedding day memories!!!”

– Maggie & Ralph :]

“Travis is awesome.  He did an amazing job on everything from the highlights, extended cut, dvd packaging and artwork, and most of all service.  He really tries to deliver something that you’ll be 100% happy with.  Book 8 Kinds of Smiles and you’ll find yourself replaying the videos over and over… and over and over and over……and over and over…..ahh i can’t stopp!!”

“Thanks man .. we truly appreciate all of the love and energy you have invested in this .. it shows! I’ve always said that you haven’t made a good wedding video unless the bride cries .. and she did!”

– Sylvia & Braelan :]

“If you think you are talented, wait until you meet Travis, founder of 8 Kinds of Smiles.  Such a young man, but do not be fooled by his youthful appearance.  This guy knows what he is doing, does a quality job, and makes it look easy.  He made my husband and I three most amazing videos that we will cherish for life.  He also set up a photoboth at our reception, which he built himself! Of course, it was a huge success! Even my mom got in the booth.  And to top it off, Travis’ prices are so reasonable!  Truthfully, he gave us more than our photographer, and we paid much more for the latter.  I highly recommend you book him if you at all want a video of your big day!  You won’t be disappointed.”

– Thao & Long :]

“Travis and his team are amazing. We love our wedding highlights cut and our extended video! Our family and friends all enjoyed the videos as much as we did.

Travis and his team captured all the details and precious moments of our most special day. THANK YOU for making our memories last forever.”

Our wedding is forever captured so that we may share this with our family, friends, and future kids… I don’t think anyone could have done it better.”

– Vivian & Kenny :]

“Travis’ work is amazing to say the least. He’s just starting off now but his work resonates that of a seasoned wedding videographer. He’s kind of like a ninja that day–capturing moments and details without you knowing. He’s everywhere without being noticed, exactly what you need in a videographer. We highly recommend him for all your event and wedding videography needs!”

– Thao & Robert :]

“Travis went extra miles to make sure he can provide us a perfect wedding video by showing up super early before each ceremony took place and stayed until the very end to capture every special moment there was. Travis works amazingly quick, and within a week, we were able to see a draft version of our wedding video clip. Travis will work with you for any changes and/or editing until you’re completely happy with the video. Travis is punctual, professional and reliable. We love our wedding video. We highly recommended Travis.”
